bug-facts touch-grass

I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE

  • I won a huge helldivers esque major victory against the bug menace yesterday. I was tanning and saw an extra huge carpenter ant running around all crazy near a decrepit old birdhouse the previous owners left on the ground and i haven’t thrown away because i’m lazy and i watched it for a minute before smushing it with my shoe because they’re literal pests who chew up houses

    Shortly after that I noticed a patch of ground was absolutely writhing, turns out it was ants, noticed a lot of them carrying brood, going away from my house towards the garage

    Went inside to get my diy powdered sugar and boric acid blend that i made waaaay too strong (10:1 ratio people not 50/50), came back and dumped a big glob near their path, and that’s when I noticed, they were VERY interested in the spot where i smushed the big ant, and were swarming the grass where the body got flung

    Y’all i think I randomly saw the fuckin queen ant in a forced evacuation looking for a new nesting location. The lying machine said no it was almost definitely a super major and seeing the queen like this would be like seeing a unicorn, but guess what, nerd computer? It definitely WAS a queen. Ive seen enough big ass carpenter ants to know when one is literally an inch long in comparison

    Anyway sorry to brag about killing something but like, they could literally make like my house fall apart so uhhhh fuck em, get got, ants
